Our Guarantee

All items advertised on this web site are of original period manufacture unless stated otherwise. We offer a money back guarantee on all of the goods supplied subject to the terms listed below.

• Should you wish to return any item purchased, you should contact us by email within 14 days from receipt of the goods. Any item (including ancillary items, if any) can then be returned to us, provided that it is in the same condition as sent, for a full refund of the purchase price. If an item is not notified to us within this time frame, it will be considered as having been sold. Return postage charges are the responsibility of the customer and, together with the original postage cost, are not refundable, unless the fault lies with us and the goods were wholly not as described.
• This refund offer does not apply to any goods purchased in error (including errors in translation of the text of this web site to another language), on the behalf of a third party, nor to goods that have been damaged, disassembled or tampered with after purchase. Goods purchased by means of part-exchange or swap may not be subject to a full cash refund. Where the original "part-exchange or swap" items are no longer available to be returned to the customer, alternative goods similar in value may be offered (this does not affect your statutory rights). Nor does it apply to Premium Service work undertaken at the customer's request.
• The responsibility lies with the customer to ensure that any goods ordered are allowed to be imported into your country. If an item has to be returned because it cannot be imported to your country, we can offer other goods to the same value in exchange, less any return postage & import costs incurred by us, but are unable to give a refund.
• Any returned items paid for via WorldPay or Paypal will be refunded via WorldPay or Paypal.

Free 12-Month Warranty & Premium Service

Dear Collectors,

Coming from a family that was involved in clocks and watches during their postwar heyday, my intrigue with military timepieces was inevitable. I was originally inspired by my father—who served in WW2 with the Polish Army and later the REME—as I watched him work on these miniature marvels and teach me his craft. Today, 50 years on, I hope that future collectors continue to enjoy these historic watches, recalling a bygone generation of military precision.

To mark my half-century of collecting, I am delighted to offer a 12-Month Warranty.

At ZMW Militaria, we provide unrestored vintage watches in highly collectable condition at sensible prices. Additionally, when you purchase a timepiece from our website you will receive a watch that has been checked for function and, should it require further adjustment to fit your life-style, this can be done free of charge for the next 12 months (please note this offer excludes the cost of replacement parts and postage). A Premium Service can also be requested at a concessionary rate for most of our watches.

I trust you will find something of interest in our collection.

Warm regards,

Ziggy M. Wesolowski


**Timepieces presented for Premium Servicing after 3 months, or for those timepieces which are returned in a mechanical condition that is significantly different from that in which they were sold, will be charged at the regular rate, plus parts and return postage.

All timepieces that undergo the Premium Service will have their warranty extended by 12 months, or by 6 months where previously used parts had to be sourced from a donor watch. All Premium Service Warranties cease to cover any timepiece that has been neglected, abused or opened by an unauthorised third party.

Our concessionary Premium Service rate is only available for timepieces sold via this website. It excludes auction style websites, trade fairs or, at our discretion, when lower prices have been negotiated.

Commission work on other vintage timepieces may be requested.

Premium Service for Clearance Items

ZMW Militaria offers a concessionary Premium Service and 12-month Warranty on selected timepieces purchased from the website. Occasionally, goods may be offered for clearance through an online auction facility. Timepieces sold in this manner will not be available for the concessionary Premium Service or Warranty, which do not affect consumer rights.

Acknowledgment And Acceptance of Orders

No contract will exist between you and us until we have received full payment from you and have dispatched the ordered products. Please note that our initial acknowledgment of your order does not constitute acceptance of that order. You may also receive a payment acknowledgment email from WorldPay or Paypal, this again does not constitute acceptance of that order.

Should we, for any reason, decide not to accept your order we will advise you accordingly and any monies paid will be refunded.

Delivery Charges

All orders are subject to a delivery, packing & handling charge. The correct charges will be automatically calculated via our Shopping Basket ordering system and are based on variables which include; the total weight and size of your order, your location and our normal method of despatch.

Should the postage calculator unfairly miscalculate the cost, as may happen when placing multiple orders, a refund of any serious overcharge will be credited back to your account. Likewise, in the rare event that the system should seriously undercharge, ZMW Militaria reserves the right to withhold despatch of any items, pending an appropriate postage payment being received.

Terms of Gold, Silver and Bronze Used

The expresssions 'Gold', 'Silver' or 'Bronze' relate to, especially in the case of Decorations, to the grade of the award or the appearance or plating finish of metal items and does not imply a solid metal content of this description unless otherwise stated.

Insurance

Although we offer a worldwide export scheme, and trust & rely on the various delivery systems used to work properly, it must be understood that items are sent entirely at the customer's own risk. We will package the items well to prevent damage, and obtain all relevant despatch documents etc, but in the event of a parcel being lost in transit we will not be liable for such a loss. Insurance, to the limits quoted by the delivery company involved, against loss or damage is included in our quoted delivery prices but offers only minimal cover.

Should the value of any item purchased exceed the available compensation levels offered by the delivery company, the buyer may be requested to pay for goods through Bank transfer, or similar agreed means.

Payment

All payments will be taken in British Pounds (££) Sterling.
